Manual is much harder to fix than problems like typos in the game, because they'd need to do whole new print runs of it. I can ask about that, though.

ShrapnelGames should send a PM to all regulars on the Dominions forums and ask if they'd be interested in purchasing an updated manual for $XX.xx which includes shipping.

Re: Slight chance of horor mark(O really)
seriously... I doubt a new manual would be bought by many for a few changes.. a lot is known already.. they should just improve manual and send it with new games sold

Re: Slight chance of horor mark(O really)
I would buy a new manual that is updated to 3.17.

Re: Slight chance of horor mark(O really)
I'll by a new too if it is updated.
We should start a pool and if there is enough positive answers, then send the result to Shrapnell.
I understand that it is not a small job, and it is costy, but perhaps they'll take our asking into account.
At lesat, I think it is worth trying.
Is anyone agree ?

Re: Slight chance of horor mark(O really)
I do agree with you QXel, a new manual would have much use, I'd really like the new factions to get summaries (PD, forts...). Corrected rules and calculations would be nice too.

A few changes?? ?? You must be joking ! LOL
The changes would not only include a huge thread for typos and missing content in the manual, but all the new nations, spells and game content which have been included in the patches.

Re: Slight chance of horor mark(O really)
There are few problems with getting a new manual.
1) Shrapnel has to sell the old manuals away first. If they wait until all the games are sold, and then start printing more with the updated manuals, they'll go without any games to sell for a long time. If they announce there will soon be a version with updated manual, people won't buy the old ones away. If they don't announce it, just start printing the new ones, the people who buy the game and get the old one and then found out they would have gotten the new one if they had waited will be annoyed and probably very vocal. Anything to do with advertisement or lack of it seems to be a hot topic here.
2) It will be very expensive. The manual is by far the most expensive physical component of the game. Updating would make it even bigger, which in turn would make it even more expensive, and I doubt Shrapnel Games is willing to RISE the cost of a game that's been out for, what, two years?

Re: Slight chance of horor mark(O really)
A PDF version of the things added in patches might be more feasible, but as I've said before, good luck finding someone to do it. I will NOT.

Re: Slight chance of horor mark(O really)
I've used Lightless Lanterns en masse. I checked for a few turns on a load of mages and never saw a single horror mark. I think they're pretty safe. Besides, give them to cheap mages, if a horror does come, there's plenty more cheap mages recruitable.
